Hi John, Nobody yet. I really haven't had time to research it further. Maybe in the fall I'll have time. My gut tells me that it is a change that audi would have to make. Why? Bluetooth is used a lot for wireless headphone. just take that same audio signal the phone part uses and use it for the mp3. I did research enough to know that audi uses the more advanced bluetooth protocol that support high fidelity (as opposed to tinny telephone fidelity.)
I tried to see if I could get my cell phone (which works on my audi) to play mp3 tunes and hear them through the audi.) I have the bluetooth connection enabled. The integrated mp3 player plays the tunes, but through its own speakers but I get nothing out of the audi. Bummer, can't even get it to work in a dumbed-down audio mode first.
Of course the next step would be to bluetooth the command (play, skip, stop, pause, etc.) but i'm not even to first base with the audio.
I really believe it's probably a firmware upgrad, nothing more than that for Audi. Whether the mp3 player would need an upgrade is an open question. The frustrating part is that Audi isn't very open about discussing their technology or plans at any level of detail like this.
